Attenuation of urban agricultural production potential and crop water footprint due to shading from buildings and trees

Attenuation of urban agricultural production potential and crop water footprint due to shading from buildings and trees

Urban agriculture requires local water to replace ‘hydrologic externalities’ associated with food produced outside of the local area, with an accompanying shift of the water footprint (WF) for agricultural production from rural to urban areas.
